  • 2019 The Dead Arm Shiraz, d'Arenberg, McLaren Vale

    En af d'Arenbergs ikonvine og et flagskib for huset. Vinen er kendt for sin enorme frugtintensitet og kompleksitet uden den plumpe overvægter-fornemmelse, man kan være ude for i andre stærke Shirazvine fra Australien. Blåbær, blomme, lakrids, krydderurter, et strejf af jordbund og fornemmelse af knuste sten i eftersmagen. Faste, finkornede tanniner og spillende frugtsyre. Som helt ung er karaffel obligatorisk.

    Bright fruit characters are evident immediately from the first engagement. On the nose, savoury spicy plum and dried herb and sage combination burst open. And then a palate that is deeply intense and opulently smooth starts to reveal its best qualities. Has a chalky dusty thread with a little crushed rock influence. ItÆs quite dry on the finish after the richness of the middle palate.

    An opaque purple/maroon hue, the nose exhibits notes of chocolate, licorice, bergamot, blackcurrants, coffee grinds, cold tea and beef stock. The oak integration has been handled in the most exemplary manner. This is youthful, rich, powerful and bold with big flavours. Ideal for those who love big, ripe, concentrated wines, even when they are still young. Serious length is on display here with good balance, fresh acidity, firm tannins and intensity which runs for the full length of the wine. This will drink well for the next ten to fifteen years.

    This is resolutely old school, with ample appeal for those chasing full-fruited shiraz supported by a bold tannic framework. However, though thereÆs a little warmth here, this is no bigger-is-better wine. ThereÆs dark brambly fruits, dried olive, plum and an earthy, ferrous mineral overlay. The tannins are dusty and rugged but not overwhelming, and the mid-palate happily avoids pooling rich fruits. The connection between fruit and structure has not yet synched, so a few years of rest will do this a favour.

    A malty nose, segueing to mulch, tapenade and forest accents, plus cloves, sassafras and blue fruit. A full-bodied wine that is showing considerable development and the clear capacity for further time in bottle. This said, I would not wait long. The tannins are astringent and drying across the finish. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

    Real Review

    Deep red, a solid colour with a tinge of purple, and aromas of ironstone, iron-filings and rusty metal. The palate is full-bodied, concentrated and a trifle lean in its shape, f irm tannins are drying and the wine has line and length but not a lot of flesh or fruit-sweetness. Very drying aftertaste that demands hearty food. A long-term proposition.
